Children's Sunday School - Welcome to First United Methodist Church of Pontiac, IL

Children's Sunday School

Children's Sunday School @ First UMC Every Sunday at 9:30am
Classes are currently being held in the basement for the summer months
We offer exciting and fun Christian education for children from 3 years old, up through students in senior high. Our well-staffed team of volunteers has a commitment to teaching students the stories of our faith, and sharing what it is to have a vital, lived relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Each of our teachers submit to background checks to help insure your child's safety, and provide parents with peace of mind. We take seriously how precious your children are to you. They're precious to us, too.
Please contact Children's ministry coordinator Becky Walker if you would like more information.
